Baba Sehgal on Mani Ratnam-Rahman Roja music
Mani Ratnam’s Roja starring Aravind Swami and Madhu Bala turned out to be a cult traditional. The songs tuned by Rahman turned out to be chartbusters.
Within the midst of all this, Baba Sehgal talking to scribes got here up with a shocker in regards to the movie’s Rukmani Rukmani music. He stated “I had a present in Chennai. Anyone from the organising staff instructed me that some director needs to satisfy me,” He added “There was an assistant director who got here and performed Rukmani Rukmani’s Tamil model. I didn’t pay a lot consideration to it and simply stated ‘sure’ to the music. AR Rahman was additionally there. He was very younger on the time.”
He stated, “I known as my pal Atul and gave them Shashi Gopal’s quantity from Magnus Sound. They linked and finally determined to do a Hindi model, on one situation that one music can be sung by me. I understood then that AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam didn’t actually like me.”
Baba Sehgal continued “After I noticed the Hindi lyrics, I used to be like, ‘Kitne vahiyat lyrics hai yaar. Kisne likha hai ye?’ (How low-cost are these lyrics? Who wrote this?). The issue is, once we take heed to songs in one other language, they sound superb. However in our personal language, we grasp the that means. I don’t assume Rahman or Ratnam knew what these Hindi lyrics meant.”
He added “It was a pressured factor. I used to be under no circumstances satisfied with the lyrics. They had been very low-cost, I really feel,” and continued “One other girl was known as to sing the feminine strains. Later, I instructed Swetha Shetty to sing these too, and he or she nailed it. That was my first and final music with Rahman. Language was an issue. We by no means met after that.”
